The litte bronze button
Additional title: Then hail to the fame that has won it, All hail to the motto it bears; Thrice hail to the little bronze button, The Vet'ran in blue proudly wears. [first line of chorus]
Additional title: here are badges of honor more gaudy, There are costlier medals of fame, But the G. A. R. modest bronze button Of all has the loftiest claim. [first line]
